A review by 2ndchance_chad
The Great Train Robbery by Michael Crichton
3.0
3.5/5.0
This certainly like any of the other Crichton books I've read previously. I wasn't much feeling it at all for awhile. But eventually it settled in and either it or I began focusing on the aspects such as historical science and philosophy.
The story seemed to evolve into more description of how things worked scientifically in this age which was kind of cool. It also started focusing more on the study of people, their reactions, expectations and the way they can adapt to situations. I found the crew interesting enough seeing how they planned the heist, worked together and again adapt when situations changed. Once again expressing you can plan until you're blue in the face but something is always going to come up throwing a wrench into those plans!
I still own quite a few Crichton books that I need to get read. This was one I was least looking forward to anyways but it was enjoyable enough to read through to the end at least.
